It hasn’t even been two years since Tropico 3 came out, so Tropico 4 might feel a little premature to longtime fans. I suppose that’s fair; the last time two Tropico games came out within a two-year period, it didn’t go very well. The result was Tropico 2: Pirate Cove, which a lot of fans don’t even consider to be a Tropico game.
Call of Duty is a peculiar series. Each year it shifts millions of copies and is greeted with near unanimous critical praise, yet it also attracts a special kind of hatred from a vocal segment of the gaming community that consider it a microcosm of everything that is wrong with modern gaming. If Call of Duty is to be an acquired taste, then with Modern Warfare 3 it’s one that is more refined than ever.
Combat-based flying simulators aren’t exactly common in the current gaming landscape. Sure, you get two or three a year, but truly blockbuster games in this genre are unfortunately few and far between. Fortunately, the Ace Combat series has become known for bringing their A-game to this tiny niche genre and delivering a quality experience to gamers. The latest Ace combat game, Assault Horizon, delivers on this tradition of quality.
The game is set shortly after DRIV3R and the the first thing that strikes you about this reboot is its graphics. It’s clear that this game is just about cars, there is no on foot pursuits like we we saw previously and there is definitely nothing more ugly than the civilians on the street that always seem to get out of the way of your car….which is a good thing as no one likes to mow down civilians in a Range Rover Sport or any other licensed vehicle you may shift into, do they??
